8 Makeup Tricks From Celebs Who Look Better Than Ever

These stars don't sleep in a hyperbaric chamber (that we know of), yet they seem to look better with each passing year. That's because somewhere along the way, they discovered a few signature makeup tricks that make all the difference. Steal some of their game-changing moves.

Keep it simple (but sexy)

Zoë Saldana is gorgeous with almost zero makeup—but she used to look too low-key for the red carpet. Her M.O. now is much more glam but still effortless. "Winged black liner enhances her eyes, and red lipstick showcases her smile," says her makeup artist Vera Steimberg. Add some natural blush and she's done.

Master the cat eye: Gently pull the outer corner of your eye up. Using short strokes, draw a fine, felt-tip pen liner as close to the lash line as possible. When you reach the outer corner, flick the line up and out toward the end of your brow.

Find the right red: Zoë applies her lipstick straight from the tube. Easy! The trick is finding the perfect shade. Steimberg prefers blue-reds for dark and olive tones (like Zoë's) and warm orange-reds for fair skin.

Jennifer Lopez went from overly lined lips and chalky eyeshadow that washed her out to practically patenting that bronzed-goddess look. "Golden glowing skin magically makes your eyes brighter and your teeth whiter. You look like you just came back from vacation," says makeup artist Tracy Murphy, who has worked with Fergie.

Warm your complexion: Find a powder bronzer one to two shades deeper than your skin tone that has subtle shimmer (not sparkle). Use a fluffy brush to skim it over cheeks, brow bones, forehead, across your nose and chin, and down your neck.

Make eyes and lips stand out: "A warm, brick-y bronze shadow on lids draws attention to the eyes," says Murphy, and a peachy-nude gloss makes lips look supple. To prevent a pale gloss from fading, fill in your lips first with a neutral pencil.
